SCAR TISSUE

TRACE CONGER

I am not a snob when it comes to my P.I. novels. Give me believable characters, a plausible plot, and beautifully written prose. That is all anybody wants. Mr. Conger supplies all of these with style, grace, and elegant simplicity. Mr. Finn is a defrocked P.I who takes on jobs that others may not want or be able to accept. This time he does a good deed for his ex-wife. We all know the saying “No good deed goes unpunished.” Mr. Finn gets his in spades. A maniacal thug, a down-to-earth mobster and a misguided doctor all come at Finn with their own agenda. Money, drugs, violence in insignificant amounts and credible dialogue make Scar Tissue a must buy and read. More good news: Mr. Conger is hard at work with another Finn book. Stay tuned. I know that I will.
